Oregon has a diverse range of OHV riding opportunities, from the High Desert to the Coast Range and everything in between. Check with the land manager for riding area information before you head out.

With the Forest Service's Travel Management rule, it is imperative you contact the appropriate Forest Service office to obtain a Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) to know where you can legally ride on Forest Service lands.

COHVOPS (Combined OHV Operations) has recently been very active identifying and providing additional Class IV ATV (Side-by-side) trail opportunities in Central Oregon. User input has played a critical role in this process, and the agency continues to seek input from Class IV users to identify, clear, and sign new routes, as well as volunteer for trail work.For more information, email Brent Jenkins at cbjenkins@fs.fed.us.

Safety Education

Every year, OPRD ATV staff attend several events statewide to promote the safe and responsible operation of ATVs. These events include County and State Fairs, as well as school functions.

The comment period for the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) ended on January 24, 2013. Approximately 1,300 comments were received. Response to comments is ongoing and will be included as an appendix in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS).

The FEIS and Record of Decision are anticipated to be available for public comment in Fall, 2014 with a final decision being signed in Summer, 2015. Delays have been due to additional work needed with US Fish & Wildlife Service concerning the Western Snowy Plover.

Anyone operating their Class I, II, III, or IV ATV on public lands needs to have an ATV Permit. Below are links for information about what they are and where to buy them, the different classes of ATVs, rider operating requirements, and reciprocity.

ATV Grants are administered under the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department's ATV Program. Here you will find everything you need to know about the grants, and the various public meetings and workshops that occur each year.
